peaceful. Oh, myl how the mamma Of
that baby waited to hear me come up the
street after the parson had fixed the
youngsterl Say, you want to see that
sight when new mother gets her baby
back to her breast again and you'll say
there is something in this world better
nor Doodle. How that white face of hers
is framed in red as Joy shoots the blood
into it Talk about lovers look into
the eyes of his dame, it amt marker
to the gaze a mother gives her baby.
There's where you see something l can't
explain that says wealth, fame, health,
happiness, and even life itself is wrapped
up in the poor wee chap, who amt no
good to anybody nor himself. The only
thing he can do is to squint his eyes,
make little bubbles on his lips and then
yell.
1--WE followed that baby's corpse to
the grave, and how different the scene |
When the tiny white casket went into
the grave often felt like it was loaded
with mothers heart. Don't like grave
yard sights, because there is lot of false
show made. Women cry and scream at
the grave, and laugh on the road going
home; men who didn't care a picayune
for the dead followed and wouldn't give
him lift when he was alive if he was
starving; say purity things about him.
Everybody who goes to funeral don't
feel sorry. They show up because they
are invited and think they can't get out
of going. AS soon as a man dies a list
of those to be asked to ride to the grave
is made out, and any one who is at all
prominent who knew the dead man
is invited. It's good for my trade
all the same. My lap has held
many bridal parties, and often they are
solemn shows. The bride looks scared
and all broke up. l never yet saw it
miss that one of her gloves didn't raise a
laundering pile of trouble. If she had a
train to her dress, it was a 60 that it
caught on my step when she got out at the
church. A fellow ought to see how
foolish he looks when he leads the girl
up the steps. He always takes short
steps to accommodate the bride-elect, as
the politicians would say, and has a
consciousness that he is doing clown
act. After he gets her he is easier in his
actions. Plenty of hugging and kissing
going back to the house. They amt the
only ones who do that. l often caught
a pair of lovers smacking at each others
lips on the way home from q picnic or
excursion. A hard thing to understand

The Desert of Sahara Possesses Number
of Cultivated Tracts.

The Desert of Sahara Possesses a Number
of Cultivated Tracts.
The Desert of Sahara is by no means en-
tirely barren. In the Lower Sahara the
number of cultivated tracts is increasing
very rapidly, there being no fewer than forty

period of thirty years, has Is, 900 inhabitants,
$40 palm trees in full bearing-that is, which
have been planted more than seven years
100, 600 trees between one and seven years old
and 100, 600 fruit trees, while the value of the
dates grown each year averages $500, 900.
The GASES of Laghiuat and Oued-Mizi and
those of Yeryville and Ain-Sana have 100, 900
palm trees, and those of Figuig 140, 900, while
Mzah, with its 10000 inhabitants, nearly all
shepherds or merchants, cultivates 100000.
Fab, together with the Sahara slope of the
Auees, has fifty Gases which grow 900 900
palm trees and 500,000 fruit trees. Sout, with
population of 1900, has 10000 palm
trees of the choicest kind and over $4,000
fruit trees. Lastly, the various GASES of
Ourgia have over 100000 palm trees and
100000 fruit trees. All these results, to say
nothing of the trade in WOOL the cultivation
of tobacco vegetables, corn, the vine and
other things grown beneath the shelter of
the palm trees, and of the raising of ostriches,
which it is considered might be made as
profitable as it is at the Cape, have been ar

the French.

But little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,
And that is the truth of the matter;
So all of the sheep of little Bo-Peep
Concluded that they would scatter.
So little Bo-peep lay down in the deep
Rich grass, and the blossomed clover;
While the wind in the trees, and the hum of
the bees,
Sang lullaby over and over.
Said little Bo-Peep, 81 will only sleep
The tiniest little minute"
But wee little head, on clover-bed,
Has lots of queer notions in it.
For little Bo-Peep went fast asleep,
And that is the truth of the matter;
And she slept away the livelong day,
Till the dog came barking at her.
Then little Bo-Peep commenced to weep
For her sheep-but she couldn't find 'em.
70, leave 'em alone and they'll come home"
Said the wind, with their tails behind
them"
So little Bo-Peep saw her lambkins leap
Again over the waving heather;
And they stood by the door of the fold once
more,
All huddled up close together.
But, alas Bo-Peep, from your pretty sheep,
That wink or two could sever,
She had let em alone and they had come
home,
But they had no tails whatever.

roared with laughter. When it caught

"In your mind" the old hack sneered.
"The fellows who ride in you in daylight
wouldn't bring you out at night, for they

you would. Besides you're too nasty
